Bucks County foodies have a reason to celebrate this week: Ashni Kumar and Priya Trivedi, the beloved husband-and-wife duo behind the former Guru’s Indian Cuisine, are back in the culinary game.
Their new venture, Ardas Social Kitchen, is set to open in Richboro with a mission that goes far beyond the plate, writes Jeff Werner for Patch.
A Grand Opening With Heart
Ardas Social Kitchen will open its doors on July 17, and it’s starting things off right with a pay-what-you-wish vegetarian lunch buffet, followed by a full dinner service that evening.
Located in the Crossroads Plaza Shopping Center on Bustleton Pike, the restaurant is built on the simple but powerful idea that every meal served can make a real difference in someone’s life.
Familiar Flavors, Fresh Purpose
Diners can expect the same crave-worthy dishes that made Guru’s a Bucks County staple: Dhaba Chicken, Chicken Ajwain, rich curries, fragrant biryanis, and sizzling tandoori specialties, alongside beloved Indian street food.
New to the menu are Thalis, generous compartmentalized trays loaded with an entrée, sides, rice, naan, an appetizer, and dessert, offering a complete taste of Indian cuisine in one sitting.
For families facing financial hardship, complimentary meals are also available by arrangement, quietly woven into the restaurant’s everyday generosity.
Feeding People and Protecting Animals
Giving back isn’t new territory for Kumar and Trivedi. After stepping away from Guru’s in 2025 to focus on their health, the couple returned with an even bigger vision, one that folds in their nonprofit, Guru’s Guardian Angels, dedicated to rescuing and caring for stray animals.
“Ardas Social Kitchen allows us to combine our love of food with our passion for helping both people and animals,” Trivedi shared.
Fittingly, all opening-day proceeds will go toward veterinary care for Ivy, a senior rescue dog awaiting a second chance.
